Vast Resources starts mining at Pickstone-Peerless

With both its Pickstone-Peerless mine, in Zimbabwe, and its Manaila mine, in Romania, now in production, Aim-listed Vast Resources was “firmly on track to build a significant cash generative mining company,” says CEO Roy Pitchford. The company on Wednesday said production had started at the 584 ha Pickstone-Peerless mine, with the first gold smelt having produced 8.5 kg of gold bullion for delivery to the Fidelity refinery in Harare.
